I did. I thought it was boring and flawed, but hardly the worst thing I've done. All the action-oriented trailer bits failed to account for the fact that everything has x-ray vision and knows exactly where you are while you can't see shit through the bushes and your own diseased vision haze.

Far Cry 2's biggest issue was the complete and utter lack of life.I mean, several square kilometers of African savanna with multiple villages and settlements, during a time of civil war/unrest, and all you ever see is the same mercenaries and soldiers all over the place.No civilians or daily life whatsoever.

They made a great engine for large environments, but completely failed to fill it with life.The remaining game was a mediocre FPS like any other.

Frankly, all the GTA games basically are the same "go there, kill that" missions all the time, but since GTA is set in a huge, vibrant city, full of life, it makes all the difference.

FC2 had so much potential, but now they're going back to the even sillier "bad guys on an island" scheme like in the first game.
